UNITED STATES ALBERT C. BROWN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

SOAP

Application filed July 11,

My invention relates to soap dishes more particularly the kind commonly used in conjunction with sinks and bath tubs,.where a hose attachment is applied to the faucet.

WVith the form of construction now in use, it is customary when the hose is detached to wrap same about the handles of the faucet.

It is an'object of my invention to provide a construction which in addition to forming a receptacle for soap has integrally formed therewith or attached thereto a supporting member or hook, upon which the hose attachment can be placed When not in use and easily removed therefrom, when it is desired to connect the same with the faucet, thus making the hose more accessible and presenting a neater appearance than when coiled about the faucet.

In the accompanying drawings, I have illustrated what I now consider the preferred form of the essential features of my construc tion, and in these drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a soap dish embodying my invention mounted on a faucet,

Figure 2 is a top plan View and Figure 3 is a transverse section taken on line 33 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body portion of a soap dish forming a receptacle for soap, which is preferably formed of porcelain or other vitreous substance and preferably elliptical or rectangular in form.

The soap dish A is seated on a bracket a, which is mounted on the faucet b, as shown in Fig. 1.

B is a projection or supporting member, preferably formed integrally with the'body portion A, and extending at substantially right angles thereto along one of the exterior sides thereof as shown.

(Figure 3 is a modification showing the soap dish removably attached to the faucet by means of a hollow sleeve internally hexagon or square, cemented into bottom of soap dish and a hexagon or square stem to fit the internally hexagon sleeve with threaded engagement into body of faucet.)

1924. Serial No. 725,317.

The supporting member 13 is concave in cross section as illustrated in Fig. 3, so as to retain the hose .0 in position. WVhen the hose is not in use, it 1s placed on the supporting member B in the manner illustrated in Fig.

1, which involves a minimum of effort andv of the soap dish A and permits drainage of any water which accumulates in the soap dish back into the-tub or sink. I

I claim:

1. In a soap dish, a body portion of vitreous material forming a soap receptacle and a hose supporting member integral with said body portion and extending along one side thereof, said hose supporting member being upwardly concave transversely and upwardly convex longitudinally. i

2. In combination, a soap receiving receptacle of vitreous material, means for supporting said receptacle adjacent to a sink fixture, a hose supportingmember integral with said receptacle and extending along one side thereof, said supporting member being'upwardly concave transversely and upwardly I convex longitudinally.

3. In a soap dish, a body portion of vitreous material formed to provide a soap receptacle, said receptacle being formed with a drain opening in the bottom thereof, a drain spout projectingfrom the botom of said receptacle and communicating with the open ing and a hose supporting member formed integrally with said body portion and proecting along one side thereof, said hose supporting member being upwardly concave transversely and upwardly convex longitudinally.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification.
